She Said She’s Mad About Me!

She cries out my name as I follow her around all day escorting her by foot. On the stairs she really fell head over heels for me. She’s always asking if I want to go out. She wept as she gave me a box! And was sweet enough to put me in it!

Unless there’s a beartrap in the box that we can’t see around his hind legs, I don’t think kitty is in distress. Just play-agressive behavior. With a hole that big, he’s in there because he wants to be. Kitties can jump out of holes the size of postage stamp, especially if it’s cardboard.

You will note that the edges of the box have obviously had someone chewing on them for a while, as kitties so enjoy doing. And also that the hole in the top of the box is more than large enough for him to jump out if he so wishes. There is no reason to think that the cat is doing anything but playing.

Kitties make some crazy faces when they get really into their play. When my cat chases string he often hisses and growls at it. It doesn’t mean he’s upset or scared, just that he’s really, really intent on GET THAT STRING.

Not really, that’s just how they look when they switch from the child/pet mode into their adult/natural born killer mode. If I have a cardboard box out, even if it’s full, my cat would jump on it and commence shredding. Sometime she would fall in, and this is the look (complete with ears pinned back) she gets as she ‘fights’ her way out. She also get this look during her crazy runs after dinner. Over time I’ve learned it’s dangerous to interrupt her when she’s in this state 🙂

Those calicoes are so feisty!
Hey friends, Princess Chloe Zoe Calico had her first post-op check this morning, and the doctor says everything looks great. He’ll see her again in two weeks. So we are cruising right along toward recovery!

So many things they do just make no sense at all. For example, every night, as soon as the lights are off, the cat would go to the living room, stare at a blank wall or a door really intently (as if she sees ghosts hiding on the other side), and start making a howling noise (sounds like ‘owwwww’). If I call out to her, she would snap out of it, acting if nothing happened.

Why on earth would anyone continue aggravating a kitten who obviously doesn’t like that spoon. Putting the food in a small shallow dish on a mat to protect the floor and giving the kitten a chance to sniff and taste the food peacefully is a much
kinder introduction.
May seem amusing at first, but keeping on teasing this little cat is stupid and mean. How would the humans laughing their heads off like to be treated this way.
I wish CO would discourage this sort of behavior by not posting it.
Not cute, but an overload of stupidity and poor judgement.

Oh, man! That kitten sounded just like my dear departed cat, Seven, when she was a rescue kitten (her mom had disappeared when she was only three weeks old) and she would GROWL like that whenever I got too close to her food.

My little girl is a calico and she does the nuttiest things, but always always always makes me laugh! Right now she just likes to jump into all cardboard boxes in the apt, which my roommate and I leave around just for her, but soon I have no doubt that she will have to attack the villainous box for disobedience. Doesn’t having a pet (or in my case, my calico owns me) make life just so much happier?!!!! (Rhetorical Question)

In MY house that face is made while hidden and preparing to leap on an unsuspecting purveyor of food. And it’s almost always followed by, “OUCH!!!! Knock it off! That hurt! What were you THINKING??????”

I thought the same thing, but I figured if the kitten was actually distressed amongst all the growling and jabbing she would have run away. After a certain point I did stop watching it because I think they were going overboard (they’re definitely complicating this kitten’s acclimation to wet food), but I think their mean fun wasn’t all that damaging. I don’t like them as people, but I think the kitten will do fine.

It really bothered me the way the human kept it up with the spoon;
they should have recorded the initial 15 min., then put it on a loop, where they could play it endlessly, to their own unkind satisfaction……
In any case someone should have taken that spoon and hidden it away someplace, nevermind where exactly …..! 😉

First you guys posted on the wrong tread.
Second I think you are humanizing cats, they are not little people in fur coats, they are wild animals that allows us to think they are pets.
This baby is having the time of his life “killing” and “protecting” his food, it’s his nature.
